first: windows is not easier to maintain, especially given that you can download LinuxCoin for free and it comes with drivers and miners and everything installed and ready to go without any effort. You'll find ready to go scripts for monitoring and uptime notification already written for linux. Also, linux is FREE - so that saves you license cost.

second: get a bigger PSU - 3 cards needs at least a 800 watt PSU and they're not that expensive.

third: get a rack mount case that comes with fans in it from the factory - these cases will stack better and cool better and will be cheaper ($50 USD each from newegg: see my rig build here: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=16323312 )

fourth: you can get by with a cheaper CPU than that - bare bones! Get the cheapest one possible for the motherboard. Rigs are all about cost efficiency to be profitable.

THANKS!
